While elements not being visible due to scrolling are not an issue in this case it did lead me to the answer. The test I have been trying to run is quite long. Therefore I had been going about my other business on the same workstation that is executing the test...and covering up the IE window in the process. This turned out to be the issue (or at least 99% of it). I previously could not complete three full execution loops within my test. I just completed 50 leaving IE uncovered! I did still have an issue with my logout (each pass through the loop starts a new session, logs in, performs some tasks, logs out, and closes the session) that I had to resolve before the full 50 loops would work. This command failed intermittently: $b.link(:text, 'Log Out').when_present.click I added a "sleep 1" before it and it worked fine. I'm not wild about this solution but since I am already using a when_present I don't know what else to do. One interesting thing is that none of these failed when_present errors are hitting the 30 sec timeout. I'll go file a Watir-webdriver bug. OK, all of that said, I am now wondering about automated execution of tests as part of our build process. Obviously IE must be physically displayed. How are people dealing with this? -Mont -- -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support. In short: search before you ask, be nice.
